Discussion: Trump Has Faulted Staffer Who Took Blame For Melania Plagiarism Before

Staffer: My only job is to take blame for other’s missteps. The job pays well and its only couple of blames a year. My job would be in jeopardy if things were smooth.

Nice try
I ain’t buying any of it .
The Keystone cops look like a well organized militia compared to this crew.
Unfortunately we have 3 days of abject denial by pretty much everyone in the campaign.
You aren’t even good liars and we know you’re only in it for the money but please no further insults to our intelligence.You can’t lower the bar any further

Has anyone actually ever seen “Meredith McIver”? I’ll bet she is the significant other of John Miller.

So, Malaria didn’t notice the Obama passages when she read the second draft? Malaria didn’t notice the passages when she practiced her speech?

If this woman exits, it would seem her primary job description is to be the Trump family’s fall guy. When anything goes wrong, this McIver person raises her hand and says, “Oh, that was me.”

The Trumps will do everything in their power to prove you wrong.

beattycat, if she raised her hand every time something went wrong, her hand would be permanently raised. They save her for only the ones that draw the most attention. A lot of the other ones have been blames on “an intern”.

“Ex-ballerina and current Trump speechwriter.”

Good resume, or best resume?

how do you suppose that job posting reads?

‘Seeking experienced speechwriter with flexible ethics regarding plagiarism… must be willing to continuously shoulder the blame and take the fall’

Wow, that was my first thought too. Possibly the only organization with an official scapegoat position. I wanna see that job description. Wonder if it includes coverage for stinky farts. I have an old dog that I wouldn’t mind have earning some income on the side.

I believe the title of that position is “Professional Scapegoat”. Character’s name was Wimperis!


In Trump’s organizations I think they are more welcome so he can avoid paying full price.

Please note that in the NYT interview with David Sanger transcript just published this morning that Trump states he knew the truth about the plagiarism while Manafort and others from the campaign were trotting out fanciful explanations. Trump states he didn’t know it was going to become such a big deal. This would-be emperor just took all of his clothes off for us. And the view is really ugly.

Sorry, timg. Next time you’ll beat me.

It was intentional. Not a mistake.

She admitted she went to Michelle Obama’s speech, and took parts of it. That’s not a mistake.

They didn’t think they’d get caught.

I still believe they intended to steal the text, and sneak it by liberals and the media, as a sick, covert, private display of one-upmanship on the world.
